From the deepening environmental and refugee crises to the rise of inequality, intolerance, and prejudice to the torrent of ever more powerful, sometimes ominous advances in science and technology, design is responding to an age of intensity. Will it help save us? Stick around after the event for a book signing with Alice Rawsthorn.
